That's nice, DCS, but I'd like a book I can buy with some instructions in English. Right now I'm not educated enough in Latin to figure everything out.

I don't think there is such a book.

If you click on 'Liber Usualis' you will see the chants for all of the Mass Ordinary, Propers, and Kyriale in modern notation. The Calendar should be easy enough to figure out. What English instructions do you need? I know there are some people on this forum who are familiar with the Liber and could help you.

With what you've provided, it says 1927, does it still apply to the 1962 Missal?

There would be some differences to the Calendar (the FSSP has an Ordo that you can use for that), but the Propers themselves would not change. Just ignore the Calendar in the Liber and use the FSSP Ordo instead, then find the Propers in the Liber and use them. I would think the Calendrical changes would be minor. The only time you would run into real difficulty is during Holy Week, I guess.

[*] Videos with a star are from the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), included here because they are the best videos available and in the public domain. I do not endorse the Society because they are not fully reconciled with the Holy See; however, their liturgy is still beautiful and similar to what you would find in a parish of the FSSP.
